CARRIAGE OAKS COMMUNITY POOL RULES
1. The Carriage Oaks Amenities are available for Carriage Oaks residents who are current on their Homeowner Association (POA) dues and Members in good standing.
2. The Carriage Oaks swimming pool is a SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK pool. There is NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY. Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Homeowners are responsible for their children and their children’s actions.
3. Pool hours are: Daily – 6:00 am - 10:00 pm during pool season. The pool gate can only be opened with a pool access card and is to remain locked at all times. Anyone without an access card will be asked to get their pass before they will be allowed to enter the pool area. Under no circumstances should the gate be propped open. Access cards will only open the gate during authorized hours.
4. All residents should always have possession of their pool access card and photo ID/proof of residency (or that of the homeowner/resident if under the age of 14) while using the recreational facilities. The pool will be monitored at certain times during the season and residents should be ready to show ID to any Board Member, Security Guard or Pool Monitor upon request. Failure to comply may result in you being asked to leave the pool area.
5. Persons entering, or remaining in, the pool during unauthorized hours will be trespassing and subject to arrest and prosecution.
6. Guests must be with a Member in possession of an amenity pass and photo ID. Each household may have up to six (6) guests at a time. (A guest is defined as any person not living in the household) Members take full responsibility for their guests’ actions and will be charged for any damages incurred by their guests.
7. The pool cannot be reserved. Homeowners wishing to host pool parties are responsible for the hiring of lifeguards in accordance with the contract available from our website at carriageoaksinfo.org.
